Hey TECH_FAN Help me out

Postby JustAFriend » Wed Aug 20, 2003 6:16 pm

I saw online that I could get basically 50 yd line seats on the student side for $25 bucks in section 18. Whats the catch? The section next to it is $50 bucks a pop. Does the band sit in 18 or what? Just wondering the reason front row seats there are only $25 before I buy them. Some insight would help, thanks.

Sweet Christmas! Don't sit in the Tech section! Sit with the Mustangs!

It'll be kinda fun to be the only one in that section cheering when SMU keeps scoring...

I think the main difference is that the $50 seats are stadium seats with backs, and the $25 section is just aluminum bleachers.

I could be wrong, since the stadium is in the final stages of a major renovation and I haven't seen it yet.

You can go here: <A HREF="http://texastech.ocsn.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/jones-map.html" TARGET=_blank>http://texastech.ocsn.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/jones-map.html</A>

That's a clickable seating diagram, but the photos are all before the renovations, so it will look somewhat different.

No catch...I got season tickets in Sec. 18 for $150.00. Why anyone would pay $150 more for the section next to it is beyond me.

Tech ticket prices have always been a great value...they just now started really cranking up the prices for premium games.

You won't be the only Mustang in Sec. 18...DiamondM will be there to blow out your eardrums.

Thanks for the seating update. Don't have my tickets yet, but I have my flight already, so I'm going to be there. Good to know I can get a decent seat.

Not sure about that "Level T"...

If it's really the first row, it's hard to see the game from there. Often the players will stand on the benches.

I have 2 tickets to the Tech game if any of you are interested. I'd love to be at the game this weekend to see Tech's new stadium - but I'm headed to VEGAS instead!

Shoot me a note if you want them, I live in Deep Ellum.
